Happy Halloween!!! We’ve made it to the last day of my 31 Days of Halloween, which I hope gave you lots of film options to binge tonight. It’s been such a challenge for me this month, writing a review every single day, but it has also been extremely fun too. Before I ring in this Halloween, I leave you with my final post of this month… my 2019 Horror Guide.
Escape Room
January 4
